Although the present invention has multiple modification and optional form, represented its feature in the accompanying drawings by way of example, and will be described in more detail.Yet, should be appreciated that the present invention is not limited to described specific embodiment.On the contrary, the present invention includes all modifications, equivalent and the substitute mode of the spirit and scope of the invention that falls into the claim qualification.
Embodiment
The present invention relates to touch-screen, particularly use the touch-screen of transparent conductor pattern as sensing element, more specifically, relate to such touch-screen, this touch-screen visible light transmissive makes and can watch image by touch-screen (for example touch-screen on the display).Many touch-screens adopt transparent conductors as sensing element, and these elements can be used as continuous coated or provide with the form of pattern (as discontinuous band, line, fritter etc.).The optical property that transparent conductor has usually can cause reflection (for example because the refractive index difference between transparent conductor and the following substrate), low transmission (for example because the absorption and the reflection of light) and colour developing (for example because the preferential absorption in the particular range of wavelengths of visible spectrum) thereof.When the form that provides of transparent conductor is single when continuous coated, if this coating homogeneous relatively in the visible area scope of device, then this optical effect may be not obvious.In the device that uses transparent conductor pattern, might tell by the zone of pattern covers with not by the zone of pattern covers owing to the difference of optical effect.The notice of this possibility dispersion user, and in some applications, consider not wish to occur from aesthetics.For example, in such environment, device may be exposed under the higher environment light condition, even when display is below closed, does not also wish to see the transparent conductor pattern of contact-sensing apparatus.
The invention provides the touch-screen structure that comprises transparent conductor pattern, and this touch-screen structure is provided so that transparent conductor pattern has lower visual discrimination.Touch-screen structure of the present invention can increase transmittance and reduce the light reflection in the zone that is covered by transparent conductor pattern, thereby reduces the visibility of pattern.In structure of the present invention, touch screen base plate comprises the coating of covered substrate, and the refractive index of this coating is lower than the refractive index of substrate.On this low refractive index coating, arrange transparent conductor pattern then.The refractive index of transparent conductor pattern also is higher than the refractive index of coating.Though do not wish to be bound by any theory, but in the scope of the optical thickness sd so of transparent conductor layer and coating, make they and substrate form the antireflection lamination, the effect of antireflection lamination is, light wave destructive interference by reflecting at the interface at substrate/coating and coating/transparent conductor reduces visible reflection of light.This has increased light (for example from the light that is positioned at the display behind the touch-screen) transmission again and has passed touch-screen, and reduce the reflection of light from touch-screen the place ahead.Like this, transparent conductor pattern has reduced optical effect generally, thereby makes pattern and not lower by the distinguishing between the zone of pattern covers, thereby and has a less visibility.In addition, the overall brightness of display and contrast can be improved owing to transmission increase and external reflection reduce.
Structure of the present invention also comprises a kind of material that is arranged on the transparent conductor pattern and covers basically transparent conductor pattern, makes this material contact with below coating in the zone that is not covered by transparent conductor.Like this, this material is filled the gap between transparent conductor pattern each several part, and to make not by the interface in the zone of pattern covers be the below coating and be arranged in interface between the material on the pattern, rather than the interface between air and the below coating.Air interface can produce higher relatively refringence, can cause undesirable high boundary reflection, thereby, for example because reflection of ambient light reduces the contrast that transmittance is passed touch-screen and/or reduced the image of seeing by touch-screen.The packing material that is arranged on the transparent conductor pattern is selected, reducing between substrates coatings and packing material reflection at the interface, passed touch-screen thereby be increased in not in the zone that is covered by transparent conductor transmittance.The material that is arranged on the transparent conductor pattern can be any suitable light transmitting material that comprises binder material.Binder material can be used for the touch-screen structure is combined with other substrate, combines with display device, or combines with object that the touch-screen structure was installed or encapsulated in other being suitable for.
In structure of the present invention, this structure comprise coating, the transparent conductor pattern on the coating on substrate, the substrate and be arranged on the transparent conductor pattern and the filling pattern each several part between the packing material in gap, for each corresponding element, exemplary material selects to have following refractive index: about 1.6 to 1.7 (for example the polyethylene terephthalate substrate is about 1.67) of substrate refractive index; About 1.4 to 1.5 (for example silica dioxide coating is about 1.45) of coating refractive index; The transparent conductor refractive index is about 1.8 to 2.1 (for example tin indium oxide is about 2.0); And the packing material refractive index is about 1.4 to 1.8 (for example about 1.7).
The present invention is particularly suitable for comprising the touch-screen structure of plastic base such as polyester (as polyethylene terephthalate (PET)).Compare as substrate with using glass, when using PET or other soft plastic film as substrate, the phenomenon that the inventor observes visible transparent conductor pattern is more obvious.When making substrate with glass, the ITO pattern is annealed under the temperature between 300 ℃ to 400 ℃ usually.When PET or other temperature-sensitive material during as substrate, the ITO pattern can not so processed under the high temperature.As a result, and compare at the ITO of formation on glass and annealing pattern, the ITO pattern on the PET may need to make thicker, to reach required sheet resistance and homogeneity.This can cause the more obvious transparent conductor pattern of visibility.The inventor is also noted that can be by arranging that monox is (as SiO between pet substrate and ITO pattern 2) coating, improve the resistance homogeneity of the ITO pattern on the pet substrate.
Can understand many aspects of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrate by way of example simultaneously and the embodiment described is illustrative, be not to be detailed description to whole protection domains.
